didi rugby Sandbach and Holmes Chapel became the newest edition to the didi rugby family at the weekend. All of their didi stars had an amazing time in the sun!
Expanding their regular didi Stafford and Stone classes, Ros Wiggins and the rest of the team have launched brand new classes in Sandbach.
Three of their regular coaches, along with four new Sandbach coaches attended the launch. They had plenty of staff to welcome over 40 didi stars for two hours of didi rugby activities at Sandbach RUFC!
Their sessions ran in parallel, with three groups of didi stars taking part in their coach’s warm-up, skills and games zones. They provided free play obstacle courses for families to have a go on and extend their time at the event.
“We had some amazing feedback from parents and carers (and the didi stars, some of whom just didn’t want to leave!)” says Ros.
“This gave a real boost to our coaches as they rehydrated and put on some more sun cream at the half-way mark.
“Everyone left the sessions with their didi smiles on, having had lots of fun in the sun!

didi rugby classes are launching in Sandbach – and they are doing so with a bang!
Sandbach Rugby Club are right behind the set-up and will be providing full support to the new sessions, which are set to begin in June.
didi rugby Stone and Stafford head coach, Ros Wiggins has expanded her remit and will be running the classes with the support of local coaches.
What has really excited Ros is the support she has received from Sandbach RFC, who say they are very keen to fully integrate didi rugby into their juniors set-up to provide a pathway from 18 months, right up into senior rugby for both boys and girls.
didi rugby has similar links with dozens of local rugby clubs across the country.

“The club and director of rugby Andy Bird, have been really supportive and they can see the benefits of starting rugby coaching early on in children’s lives,” said Ros.
“Their junior set-up is already huge and very impressive, so I am delighted that they are keen to include didi rugby in their integrated club structure.
“Sandbach RUFC have been very welcoming and have told me they are keen to extend the family feel around their club to include youngsters of didi age, so they can get involved in having fun while their elder siblings play for the mini age-groups teams.
“When we are up and running at the club, we will be looking to expand into the schools and nurseries in the Sandbach area too.”
Sandbach RUFC
didi rugby CEO and founder Vicky Macqueen said Sandbach RUFC’s support has been very welcome.
“It’s great that they are keen to get didi involved with the club,” said Vicky. “Ros has done a tremendous job with the kids in the Stone and Stafford area and she will be bringing lots of experience and energy to Sandbach too.”
With sessions set to begin in early-to-mid June, didi rugby classes for 18 months to 6-year-olds will be held on Friday afternoons. Then Saturday mornings will also see the full range of didi age groups in action.
Dates and times will be confirmed in the near future.
New didi rugby Lichfield owner Emelie Denham owes an awful lot to her childhood next-door neighbour.
At the age of 15, Emelie was at home one day with her sister Rosie when there was a knock at the door.
Neighbour Tom was standing there. He was off to play rugby for the first time at his local club and was nervous about going on his own.
Encouraged by his mum to ‘see if the girls next door wanted to come’, Tom asked if they fancied keeping him company. The two Denham sisters decided to go with him and try a new sport for girls who, at the time, played cricket (Rosie) and football (Emelie).
Lichfield Women
It was probably one of the best decisions that Emelie has ever made.
She has gone on to earn representative honours with the Wales 7s development squad and played in the Welsh Premiership, as well as for Lichfield Women in England.
She still plays as a hooker and prop for Lichfield Ladies, coaches the Staffordshire Women’s Under-16s and Under-18s teams and is soon to begin to study for her Level 3 coaching course.
Even Emelie’s day job is based around getting people active as a sports development officer in primary and secondary schools.

So, didi rugby is very lucky to have its newest franchise owner ready to spread the word and get more little children active in the area.
“I basically get lots of young people active and having fun,” says Emelie. “Encouraging them to get involved in events, refereeing and activities.
“It’s very rewarding. I have just finished with one group of Year 10s who I have been working with to teach them leadership qualifications.
Having fun
“I got into didi rugby by accident when a friend asked me to cover a class and I have been covering didi classes near where I live for the last five years! You could call me the ultimate cover teacher.
“When the opportunity to run the Lichfield area came up, I jumped at it and am really looking forward to seeing lots of new faces and having fun with the children and parents in the area around Lichfield Rugby Club.
“There’s no better feeling when working with any age group when you see children and adults who suddenly ‘get’ what you are teaching them. It’s great to see them enjoy what they are doing and having fun.”
didi rugby CEO
didi rugby CEO and founder Vicky Macqueen said Emelie has a huge amount to offer.
“We feel very lucky to have Emelie on board looking after the Lichfield area,” she said. “She has been involved with didi rugby for years and knows the programme inside out.
“She gets up in the morning to encourage people to be active and that is a great mindset for running didi rugby classes.
Lichfield Rugby Club
“Emelie is well-known in the area and has a lovely manner with children who I am sure she will inspire to have fun and learn new skills.”
Tom… if you are reading this…you did a good job!
didi rugby Lichfield classes take place at Lichfield Rugby Club every Saturday between 9am and 11.20am and cover age ranges from 18 months to six years.
